Summary/Abstract: The bilingual dictionary by Trotz was the first lexicographical reference documenting the development of Polish and German languages as they became independent from Latin in scientific domains. This paper focuses on reflected lexical units from elementary mathematics. The collected data (336 German headwords with Polish equivalents) provide insights into the thematic areas and mechanisms shaping mathematical terminology in both languages by the late 18th century.
